Context

The Martynas Mazvydas National Library of Lithuania ran 'Libraries for Innovation 2' with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Global Libraries Program funding, training librarians and awarding small grants to 45 locally selected library projects tackling community digital-inclusion needs.

Results

The programme's own research found 75% of participating libraries had found new partners (schools, NGOs, businesses) in the prior 12 months, though sub-grantee projects rather than the national programme itself were expected to continue past the grant period.
